Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink
The WGPS606 can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The wireless USB print server incorporates Auto
Uplink
TM
technology. The Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable
plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as to a PC or an ‘uplink’ connection
such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This
feature also eliminates any concerns about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate
either type of cable to make the right connection.
